The local situation with tuberculosis (TB) is shaped by the complex interplay of multiple factors related to both human host and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We hypothesized that TB epidemiology in the rural regions in the Soviet Union was impacted by construction of the Gulag camps and significant incoming migration. This molecular M. tuberculosis study was conducted in 2017 in the Komi Republic in northern Russia, a region with high rate (26%) of primary multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB. MDR was detected in 30.8% (40/130) isolates; eight were extensively drug resistant. The Beijing genotype was predominant (56.2%). The main Beijing subtypes B0/W148 and 94-32 differed in the MDR rate, 83.3% and 27.2%, respectively. The non-Beijing isolates represented five genotypes (LAM, Ural, Haarlem, X, T). The proportion of Beijing B0/W148 in the "camp" cities (originated from Gulag camps) was twice as large as in other districts of the Komi Republic. To conclude, сirculation of the MDR-associated Beijing B0/W148 cluster critically influences the current situation with MDR-TB in this Russian region. The increased prevalence of B0/W148 in the urban setting on the whole, and in the "camp cities", in particular, indirectly points to the increased transmission capacity of this successful Russian strain of M. tuberculosis.
